Mini Course: Social Impacts of Engineering
This course will familiarize students with the skills needed to analyze the social and political impact of engineering on society and the environment.
How can small wind turbines be best designed to produce energy for o ffice buildings in urban settings? Can fuel storage systems for zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell cars be engineered to minimize safety risks for occupants and the environment? Is it feasible to build a rooftop greenhouse on a commercial building that can produce vegetables and surplus energy to heat an adjoining building in a cold climate like Montreal? Those are just three examples of engineering innovations for sustainability to be presented at the EIC (Engineering Institute of Canada) Climate Change Technology Conference.

All of Concordia's Engineering programs are fully accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. Computer Science programs are accredited by the Canadian Information Processing Society.
Accreditation initiatives are led by Dr. Ali Akgunduz, Associate Dean of Academic Programs.
Accreditation Assessment System (AAS)
The Attribute Assessment System (AAS) web application enables the recording of graduate attribute assessment as required by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. For the purposes of the AAS system, each term, every department assigns a set of courses that measure graduate attributes. These courses are said to participate in the AAS system. For each participating course, the department specifies which attributes are assessed in that course.
The Concordia Institute of Aerospace Design and Innovation aims to become Canada’s preeminent provider of aerospace education and research. For more on the institute, take a look at our activites in aerospace, and meet Dr. Robert Fews, Aerospace Special Advisor, and Director of CIADI.
